Composers & Music / Rebecca Clarke

Female composer in the expressionist style. She was a Violist, rather good as well. She wrote under a male pseudonym because female composers appeared not to be received too well.

I'm liking "Morpheus" at the moment, it's not too unsung but it's not very well known outside the Viola repertoire!

Absolutely fantastic piece, it's really good. Morpheus was the (I think) Greek God of Dreams. This portrays that aptly.

Hey all,

I am a 17 year old Viola player and Composer, looking to find new music to influence my style of writing, and possibly get some feedback on some of my work! I am aiming to write in the gaps into the Viola repertoire throughout my life, as there are massive holes in the Classical and Romantic repertory- I'm currently having my work published by OLC Barcelona Music and am always writing more inbetween being told to study my A-Levels.

I live in Brighton, in the UK and attend the Royal College Junior Department on Saturdays, and Christ's Hospital School otherwise (any old Blues on here?)

I like the idea of a forum for "unsung composers", I'm hoping I fit this because nobody wants to sing my choral piece ;)

Seriously though, I love hearing new music. My favourite composers are Rachmaninov, Beethoven and Bartok (and I'm quite partial to Skryabin as well). I really like Rebecca Clarke too, don't know if she's been heard of on here...?

Anyway, looking forward to the discussion :)

Elliot
